The Onehunga High School Athletics Day was held at Mt Smart Stadium this year.

Six hundred students and accompanying staff boarded buses and headed to the stadium in what was perfect conditions for an athletics competition. Clouds threatened rain, but thankfully the drizzle didn’t arrive in time to dampen the enthusiasm of participants.

Everyone competed and supported each other with great heart and encouraging spirit. Perhaps no one competed in more track events than Joseph Haioti 12Pj who displayed great Loyalty and Courage. Well done Joseph!

Congratulations to the following students for performances good enough to qualify them for the Central Eastern Zone Competitions.
